patagonialukeESPN "Body Issue" style photoshoot, but with the 20/21 lineup and all the folks from the factory

hot.pocketI.........didn't realize the body issue was full nude. I will deliver what I can.

hot.pocketAnything you guys would like to see from the showroom? Won't be quite the same as these kind of photos but also won't be our typical marketing style photos either.

Swandog7perhaps... a discount code or two will do instead. 100% off skis and 50% off clothes seems like fair middle ground.

Rodiganall those commanders please

anders_acast requires the 18 toe right? or now 15?

Cade2@hot.pocket just picked up some chipotle bananas and wanted to know what you would recommend for a 80/20 resort touring pow setup in terms of bindings. Cast or shift? 6 foot 150lbs, thank you and the skis look so sweet in person! Very stoked!

dustin13I'd really love to see the 193 Chipotle Banana rocker profile as well as hear as much beta about how it compares in feel to a 190 Bibby (best ski ever made, imo). I'm looking for something different than it, but still with a similar feel. I think it might just be the ticket.

SEABURNyou're light, can probs get away with the shift. unless you're regularly doing extra big sends

also... touring a fully rockered ski will not work that well

hot.pocketI'm back in the factory on Tuesday, I can snap some rocker pics for you then. Other than that, the Banana is way more of a pure powder ski. It'll be much surfier and easier to pivot in comparison to the Bibby, it'll give you better float in the really deep stuff and is basically a dream in anything over a foot or so. The Bibby outshines it in terms of handling crappier conditions, if the weather said a ton of snow but the reality is manky crap, the Bibby will perform better. If you have other daily drivers and skis that'll handle the 'couple inches to maybe a foot' deep days and want something for the true pow days, the Banana is my go to choice. It'll still blast through afternoon chop and crud, the main selling point of the Bibby over the Banana is simply the overall versatility.

We're built basically the same, 6'2 150lbs and I run the Shift on my Bananas. The binding can be a little finicky while setting up, but once you've worked out the kinks I enjoy the binding. The combo of my weight and my passive skiing style, the Cast system is pretty overkill for me, even with the Pivot 15. If you ski like me (surfy and quick, rarely bigger than 10' drops, enjoy the trees over crazy high speeds), you'll be fine on the Shift. If you ski super aggressively, go with the Cast.

I only tour on fully rockered skis and I have zero complaints. I've run cambered setups for touring before, in my opinion there's not a huge difference in the uphill performance or grip in icy / shitty situations, especially on something like the Meridian with it's very mellow full rocker profile and stout core. Plus, if you're touring on Bananas it better be deep out.

Biffbarf@hot.pocket would you mind lining up the rocker profile of the meridian next to the deathwish?

hot.pocketAll the 193 Bananas are in wrapping right now, but here's a Wildcat 190 vs Banana 186 comparison. The 186 Banana rocker profile is near identical to the 193, so this should give you a solid idea.

Rodiganall those commanders please

hot.pocketNew apparel is up on the website as well, a little taste of the new offerings...

hot.pocketMore Commander hype. You can see the shape of the Titanal in the tips right now, but it disappears once we pull the protective tape off the topsheet, so it won't be visible in the final product.

Commander 118 colorway:

N41v131355would the 174 measure up closer to 171 in real terms (in Blister style measurements)


Not that short, about a couple cm shorter. Mine 182 measure at 180.1

olic@hot.pocket Hey Man I'm looking at ordering from the UK, really interested in the Wildcat 101, what size would you suggest for a 168cm tall 154lbs advanced intermediate? I used to ride a lot of park but definitely a more all mountain playful skier now, with occasional charging tendencies

Current quiver is Line Chronic 171 (2014 model, yep they've lasted) & ON3P Jeffrey 116 in 176 length. Wildcats would be to replace the old Chronics. would the 174 measure up closer to 171 in real terms (in Blister style measurements)

Also any idea what the shipping cost to UK might be (ex. import tax, I'll work that out)

Thanks very much!

hot.pocketFree worldwide shipping on all ski orders and we list the contents at $150 so you don't get hit as hard with the import taxes.

BiffbarfStraight gangster move

hot.pocketStraight tape pull, or the 'real Blister measurement', on the 101 Wildcat 174 will come out to 172 cm +/- a millimeter or two. I'd go with this size if you're confident and like to ski aggressively. If you're skiing a Jeffrey 116 in a 176 you should be able to handle the 174 without issue.

olicFree worldwide shipping!?

BiffbarfStraight gangster move

hot.pocketYup, free worldwide shipping on all orders over $400, so essentially any order that contains a pair of skis.

We also offer custom skis, free stickers, pro deals, ski financing, and, if you live locally, we will mount, tune, wax and repair any pair of Moment Skis free of charge for the life of the ski.

BigPurpleSkiSuitFor real though, just don't let the bureau of international commerce know about it ;)

animatorWait custom how?

snej123is this something you claim to do or something that you actually do? I got told the same thing and ordered two pairs shipped to Sweden. When they showed up the customs form was filled in showing the full cost for the two pairs which meant the skis cost a shitload more than I had hoped for. After emailing with Moment asking what was up I first got told that the skis were being listed at $150 and that the added cost probably came from customs having done research on the real value. This turned out to be complete bullshit as the customs form filled in from Moment showed the full amount and nothing close to $150. Emailing again with moment that I was bummed about that I got told off with something like ”yeah, sorry that we’re not helping you screw the swedish customs.

Was I unlucky running in to interns both at customer service and being responsible for shipping my skis and filling out customs forms, color me doubtful.

hot.pocketGraphic swaps are the most common, like building a Deathwish with the 2017 PB&J topsheet and the 2013 Bibby base.

runjoyEven on the Frankenblades?

hot.pocketMost likely not, one of those exceptions from above. We actually lose money on the blades, and we'd have to charge you an arm and a leg to make a custom blade worth it on our end.

cydwhitRecent example of a Moment Custom that showed up in the mail yesterday. Grabbed these as a wedding/birthday present:

It's a current model Deathwish with last year's "Palm tree napalm" Frankenski topsheet, and a '21 Sierra palm tree base. One of the prettiest skis I've ever held, and super straightforward and easy to get built. Highly, highly recommend Moment's customs process.

olic@hot.pocket 4 working day delivery from the US to the UK, man that is some top quality service, skis just arrived and look amazing, can't wait to ride them.



Got a mounting question if that's cool? These will be my all mountain planks, I like to ski quite playfully but pretty fast most of the time, lots of shifties and jumps, rarely any spins or flips anymore though due to knee issues but still ski switch a bit. Got my Kartel 116s for proper deep powder days mounted at recommended, what would you suggest for the Wildcat 101? One triangle infront of recommended?

For reference I'm 155lbs, 5'6", used to ski a lot of park, and all previous skis have been centre mounted

Thanks very much!
